Dresdner Kunstverlag (Dresden Art Publishing House) was founded by Richard Eckert, who had previously worked at the renowned Aelteste Volkstedter Porzellanfabrik AG in Volkstedt. In 1909, he employed highly skilled craftsmen and opened the small studio Dresdener Kunstverlag Richard Eckert, which operated for only nine years, until 1918. He produced figurines in styles akin to the most famous porcelain manufacturers of the time, matching their level of quality.
As noted, the studio was small and short-lived, making pieces bearing his mark rare treasures today.
